Of their Slaves and Of their Marriages from Utopia by Thomas More #universityoflucknow

This video explores Thomas More’s Utopia, focusing on the section “Of Their Slaves and of Their Marriages.” It explains how the Utopians manage the institution of slavery by employing criminals, prisoners of war, and condemned foreigners for difficult and unpleasant labor, keeping their own citizens free from such tasks. The video also highlights the strict and serious view of marriage in Utopia, where partners are chosen with honesty, respect, and transparency, and where fidelity is considered essential for social and moral order. By looking at these two aspects, the video gives MA students a clear understanding of how More presents discipline, morality, and organization in his vision of an ideal commonwealth.
